Cwellyn 2004
So you missed it - but here's a quick report on the urfg 2004 gathering - all 4 of us..... We were camping on the site adjacent to Llyn Cwellyn in N.Wales, and I rolled up on the Thursday afternoon to find Bill all set up. It had been a bit of a stormy day, with quite a wave on Cwellyn, and rain looked likely, so there was a bit of a hurry to get my tent up before Andy and Alec arrived later, having been held up on the M-way. Sure enough, it chucked it down, but not before we'd had the barbie fired up - fortunately I had brought the big family tent, and so we were able to relax in there, chew the fat and just watch it all. Thanks to Alec and Andy for bringing the entire stock from their local butcher... Friday dawned a bit grey and gloomy, but soon cleared up and we decided to get tickets for Cwellyn and Llyn Nantlle, with a boat for Nantlle. Damn - we were beaten to hiring a motor for this, which meant a fair bit of rowing for yours truly. Andy and I headed off to Nantlle, leaving Bill and Alec to get to grips with Cwellyn, and we were soon afloat on this beautiful lake, with Snowdon in the background. It wasn't long before Andy got the pull - and landed a rather nice........roach! This man should take up coarse fishing..... The sun was making things a bit tricky I felt, along with the lack of a decent ripple, but I landed one trout which went back, just before Andy caught himself - another roach! Shortly after, another trout came to my diawl bach, this time going into the bag. For the afternoon, Andy and Alec swapped over - they had not had any luck at Cwellyn, and both Alec and I lost a trout each. They are very, very quick here. So, back to the campsite for the evening, get the barbie going, dodge the midges which were pretty fierce. Unfortunately, the camp site was filling up with rowdy types, and there wasn't much sleep going that evening. Saturday dawns, it's promising to be a fine day, and we say goodbye to Bill who has decided to get off home. Andy and I head off to Nantlle again, whilst Alec goes to try nearby Llyn Dwyarchen. But it's a really hot day, fierce sunshine, almost no wind, and we all struggle to get so much as a knock. By mid afternoon, we've all had enough of 'boat legs' and end the day on the banks of Dwyarchen, but there's nothing doing. So, whilst I can't say that the fishing was brilliant, we spent a couple of days amongst beautiful scenery, topping up the suntans. My grateful thanks to Alec and Bill for coming up, and especially to Andy who had taken the trouble to organise everything.
